12Internationalized AtmosphereEstablished worldwide exchange and cooperation ties with more than 130 universities/colleges and research institutes in 40 countries or districtsOver 1400 long-term or short-term foreign students are currently enrolled

14The College of Computer Science and Technology, Jilin UniversityFounded in 1976 by Prof. Xianghao Wang, a world famous mathematician, member of the Chinese Academy of SciencesOne of the earliest institutions that endeavor to research on computer science and technology in China.Its main fields of interest include Artificial Intelligence, Distributed System, Computer Network, Intelligent Programming, Automated Reasoning, Knowledge Engineering, Agent System, Software Engineering and Software Automation, Computer Graphics, etc.

15The college is one of the largest computer colleges in the countryIn May 2001, the former College of Computer Science and Technology, Jilin University merged withDepartment of Computer Engineering and Technology, Jilin University of TechnologyDepartment of Computer Science, Changchun University of Science and TechnologyDepartment of Computer Science, Changchun Post and Telecommunication InstituteCurrently, the college has2719 undergraduates, 772 postgraduates and 208 doctoral candidates.194 faculty members, including 39 professors, 50 associate professorsone member of Chinese Academy of Sciences

16One of the top-tier institutions in ChinaIn 1981, the college became one of the first institutions authorized to offer Computer Software PhD program in ChinaIn 1985, the college became one of the first institutions authorized to found the post-doctoral research centerIn 1987, Computer Software program offered by the college was honored as one of the Key Disciplines of the nationIn 1993, the Open Lab of Symbolic Computation and Knowledge Engineering directly administered by the State Education Commission was founded.

17One of the top-tier institutions in ChinaIn 1999, the Key Lab of Computer Communications directly sponsored by the Ministry of Information Industry was established.In 2002, the discipline of Computer and Software Science and Information Processing was funded by national “Tenth five-year plan” 211 project as key discipline.In 2002, the discipline of Computer Software and Theory was honored as the Key Discipline of the nation again.In 2004, the college was authorized to found S&T Innovation Platform of ‘Computing and Software Science’ funded by the national “985” project.

18Recent research activitiesProjectsIn the recent five years, the college has finished 110 projects supported by CNSF, national “973” high-tech program, national “863” high-tech program and so on, the funds obtained are about RMB 60 million Yuan in total.There are 45 under-going projects funded by government, the total funding is about 45 million RMB Yuan.

19Recent research activitiesAwardsIn the past five years, the college has won more than 20 awards from the government, likeSecond Prize of National Science and Technology Progress AwardSpecial Prize by Electronic Ministry“Ninth five-year plan” National Key Science and Technology Projects AwardFirst prize for Jilin Province Science and Technology Progress,Etc.PublicationsMore than 900 papers24 books/monographs

20International CollaborationOur college has established collaborative relationships with many universities and institutes like:Research Center of Cooperation, West Virginian University, USA.Research Institute of High Performance Computation, SingaporeDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, National University of SingaporeDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of British Columbia, CanadaPlatform Computing Inc, CanadaUCSD, USAIST, JapanAutomation & Computer Aided Engineering Dept, Chinese University of Hong Kong,etc

21International CollaborationThe college has signed agreements to establish people training programs with world famous IT companies, such asIBM, Microsoft, ORACLE, SUN, HP, Ricoh and BEA, etc.International ConferencesIn July, 2005, the college hosted the International Bioinformatics Workshop; more than 200 representatives from abroad and China attended the conferenceetc

22Recent Research Activities on Grid ComputingThe College started its research on grid computing since 2000, however, the research on high performance computing dated back to 1980.The College started to collaborate with UCSD (US), AIST (Japan) and Platform Inc (Ca) from 2003 in the fields of grid computing and middleware.From 2004 to 2005, working with Platform the College delivered the WSRF based CSF (Community Scheduler Framework) as a contribution component of GT4.To provide a grid test bed for data-intensive applications like iGap, JLU, UCSD and AIST are working at integrating meta-scheduler (CSF), local scheduler (LSF/SGE) and Gfarm.

23Recent Research Activities on Grid ComputingFrom 2005, JLU started to get involved in the Pacific Rim Undergraduate Experience by sending students and faculty members to UCSD.Another on-going co-research project between JLU and Platform is aiming at developing a grid operating system prototype.Project Funded by CNSFTo research the methods to monitor and evaluate the execution performance of grid applications

24Community Scheduler Framework 4.0 – CSF4What is CSFFull name: Community Scheduler FrameworkCSF is a meta-scheduler working at grid levelThe first version of CSF, CSF3, was developed based on GT3-OGSI, contributed by Platform (a CA software company/LSF)CSF4 is the GT4-WSRF compliant version of CSF, providing the same functionalities as CSF3CSF is an open source project and can be accessed at (the cvs mainline code is csf4)The development team of CSF4 is from Jilin University

28Data aware Scheduling Job scheduling (move job to data)Put jobs in the queuesFind the best hosts for gfarm jobsConstraint the number of running jobs to access a data replicaData management (move data to jobs)create new data replicas when the job load is highFind the host location based on job resource requirementAvoid generating multiple large data replicas within one scheduling sessiondelete the obsolete data replicas automatically

29Using the LSF scheduler plug-in mechanismNo need to write a job scheduler from scratchBe able to work with other scheduler policies like FCFS, fair-share, preemption, backfill, etc.

31Plan For Near FutureContinue working on the integration of CSF, local schedulers and gfarm together with UCSD/AIST etc.Add more features to CSFsupport array jobsupport work flow (job dependency)support web service jobssupport resource reservations

32Apply PRAGMA MembershipTo build the strong collaborative relationships with world leading institutes and universities is a high priority of our collegeWe are going to enhance and extend the existence collaborations with PRAGMA in the fields of Grid Computing and Bioinformatics etcWe are willing to be a institutional member of PRAGMAWe are willing to host future PRAGMA workshops
